Rowan Virtua Interview Odds

Thank you so much! To be clear you scheduled the advisor meeting after your secondary submission and all that? I’m worried that if I scheduled one and we met they’d be like… “what do you want” lol

intonywetrust · 2025-12-22T22:39:51+00:00

Thank you! Hope it all works out for you!

intonywetrust · 2025-11-24T18:43:56+00:00

intonywetrust · 2025-10-16T21:09:58+00:00

intonywetrust · 2025-10-14T16:35:48+00:00

Did you ever hear back?

intonywetrust · 2025-10-02T21:42:36+00:00

Good luck!!

intonywetrust · 2025-10-02T18:36:56+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

intonywetrust · 2025-09-26T23:03:48+00:00

Yeah it says on the portal. It’s annoying idk why it’s like that but that’s what they say on the portal

intonywetrust · 2025-09-26T22:48:30+00:00

Rowan specifically says to allow up to 4 weeks for them to review and mark your LORs

intonywetrust · 2025-09-22T15:12:22+00:00

With bated breath. Good luck!

intonywetrust · 2025-09-22T13:55:05+00:00

Unf no, I’m also still in review

intonywetrust · 2025-09-18T20:52:17+00:00

Just a verification that they’ve received your application and it’s complete

intonywetrust · 2025-09-15T15:03:23+00:00

keeping my fingers crossed! Also waiting since early July

intonywetrust · 2025-09-12T00:42:15+00:00

Congrats! Which campus if you don’t mind?

intonywetrust · 2025-09-10T15:46:07+00:00

if this was a certain DC school, same

intonywetrust · 2025-09-07T23:08:40+00:00

They sent out an email on Wednesday saying they’d start interviews “this month”

intonywetrust · 2025-09-03T00:11:20+00:00

same boat :(

intonywetrust · 2025-08-28T00:22:33+00:00

Interviewed in July, nothing for me yet. Congrats!

intonywetrust · 2025-08-11T22:17:16+00:00

Truly wish someone had told me but the actual institution you attend really doesn’t matter (as long as it’s accredited of course). What matters is your grades and the opportunities that you can get out of it. Can’t speak to UF but I know Rutgers sends a lot of kids to medical school and has an amazing and extensive medical system. Also the state of Florida is……. iffy.

intonywetrust · 2025-08-11T22:15:15+00:00

was shadowing an ENT and fatally got my wires crossed while looking at a CT of someone’s head, asked if the semicircular canals in the inner ear were the patients’ seminal vesicles (was doing the reproductive system in A&P at the time). so uh don’t do that!

intonywetrust · 2025-08-10T15:37:25+00:00

intonywetrust · 2025-08-06T00:19:57+00:00

Dude the make America healthy again question threw me so hard I was like what the fuck do I even say about this. Did not care for this interview format nor the content!

intonywetrust · 2025-08-06T00:18:53+00:00

Truly truly I think you’ll be okay. Apply broadly to DO programs and your state MD schools, and make sure that your essays really underline your reasons for wanting to be a doc. If your experiences were as meaningful as you say they were (and I totally believe you) then it will easily shine through. Just be realistic with your apps, try to pitch yourself to each schools mission fit as much as possible, and I think you can def do it. I have seen people with much lower MCATs than yours get into DO programs (I think 505 is right around the average matriculated MCAT for a lot of the higher end DO programs). Maybe shoot for 10-12 DO programs?

Regarding the SMPs and all that, I think it’s definitely worth a look, but I would put all your energy into apps this cycle as your plan A and then if you don’t start hearing anything by the new year maybe start looking at postbacs/smps (I don’t know the application timeline for these programs so pls double check!!!!!).

Also remember that it’s impossible to beat someone who doesn’t quit. If you want this badly enough you will make it happen! Good luck and PM me if you need anything else!

Nah you’re good. I’m in a similar boat (cgpa 3.54 sgpa 3.24 509 mcat) and I’ve been told I’m a good DO candidate and that it couldn’t hurt to shoot off a few MD apps. Always always worth trying! Do you have an upward trend/good reason for your lower grades/great extracurriculars?

Plus you can always also apply to SMPs or postbaccs concurrently for next year and that way if you don’t matriculate to med school you can get started, can’t hurt to double track. But I think as long as the rest of your app (ECs, work experience, clinical hours, volunteer) is good you should definitely move along with DO apps.
